Elecraft CW Net Announcement

Good Evening,
Another chilly week. This has been the shortest and coldest "summer" since I have lived in Oregon. Folks here are talking about summer coats and gloves. They are not kidding! I have only had a couple t-shirt days and those are spaced out on those rare days when the temperature got over 70 degrees. However, there is a silver lining to that grey cloud: the fire danger has been very low. Just means we have to wait for next year to feel warm. "Summer" started late, is finishing early and was interspersed with many cold snaps so we had maybe three weeks of warm weather total. Even the leaves are changing and the critters are making plans for winter.
I have not been on the air much this week but when I was on 80 meters copy was very good. Unfortunately all of that was local. No great shakes for DX contacts but it was fun to call CQ and see who was out there. Casual chats which were tailended by other curiosity seekers was a nice way to spend a few hours on the radio. No points to worry about, no pile ups to fight, just work a few people and find out what they are thinking. Once I make contact I rarely talk about radio since it is obvious that I have one. It is more fun to talk about the garden or the outdoors or just whatever comes up. No pressure to perform just a simple chat. And, since they are locals, we can talk about how cold it is without someone thinking we are a bit whacko :)

Please join us tomorrow afternoon and evening.

1) Hail signs (first letter or two of the suffix of your call)
2) NCS help (as well as QSP/QNP <relay> help)

Sunday 2200z (Sunday 3 PM PDT) 14050 kHz
Monday 0000z (Sunday 5 PM PDT) 7045 kHz

Stay well,
Kevin. KD5ONS

Kevin.

Oh for your temperatures. We here in North Carolina have been having a
battle with the record for the most days over 90 deg/F. Right now, we
are 10 days ahead of the record in 2007. Global warming speculation
anyone??

Re: Elecraft CW Net Announcement

Global warming and Global cooling at the same time? WOW!

Did someone come up with a weather machine and not tell us.

Re: Elecraft CW Net Announcement

Definitely OT, but...

Many are now convinced that global warming will be more destructively
felt in increasing extremes, rather than a straight line increase in
temperature. Warmer oceans make for nastier typhoons and hurricanes.
Displaced cold water changes local weather patterns. We see more
violent weather shifts due to more air needing to move more to
dissipate more energy at the poles (yes, that's "more" cubed). That
brings a greater volume of hot air farther north and a greater volume
of cold air farther south, resulting in shorter light-switch spring
and fall seasons with blizzard to burnout to blizzard to burnout
winter-summer annual cycles.

Global warming is anything except the popular simple-minded single
dimension gray scale concept that gradually eliminates winter in the
temperate zones. Instead it's nasty, complicated, full of unforeseen
consequences and to this point unknown behavior cycles. If you want
to risk a little brain damage, stay deep in the technical weather
blogs. You thought electronics was complicated? Weather makes
everything else look simple.
